He said by not using chemicals, there would be no threat to the environment and the farmer.

“Organic produce is community friendly as it is not focused on generating money; instead it is health-focused.

“These harmful chemicals then do not enter our bodies when we consume organic food,” said Yahqappu, who has been running the farm for four years.

On complaints that organic food is more expensive, he replied: “Although organic food is priced slightly higher than non-organic food, it does justice to the farmer, consumer and environment.”

Green Fest is on from 7am to 4pm today. The booths will open at 9am. Admission is free although there is a small payment for some of the activities. Activities include a forest run, nature treasure hunt and canopy walk.

Local celebrities will also be lending their star appeal to the event while there will be various “green” exhibition booths to educate visitors on the importance of environmental conservation.

Plenty of Organic food resources available. I had a farm here in australia instead of distributing it to different vendors we decided to open our own shop and as well as we sell it online called the organic food delivered.

About Me

After being in the food industry for 6 years, I decided that I wanted to lead a simple life without the pressures of living in the city. In 2003, I left my restaurant business in Kuala Lumpur, picked up farming tips from books and the Internet and started a 1.5 acre organic farm in Batu Arang, Selangor. I have the triad way of approacing life that is economic viability, cultural/social integrational depth and profound spiritual fullness .My intention in the beginning is to have an ashram which has the balance of the body(economy),soul(society)and spirit(spirituality). Here, I feel that I have found my paradise through the privilege of working the earth , communal living with the locals and high spiritual aspiration of the reign of God.
